In Nomadic herding, herdsmen move from place to place with their animals for _______ and _______ along defined routes.

The correct answer is fodder and water.Key PointsNomadic hardening:

• Nomadic herding is practiced in the semi-arid and arid regions of Sahara, Central Asia, and some parts of India, like Rajasthan and Jammu, and Kashmir.
• In this type of farming, herdsmen move from place to place with their animals for fodder and water, along with defined routes.
• This type of movement arises in response to climatic constraints and terrain.
• Sheep, camel, yak, and goats are most commonly reared.
• They provide milk, meat, wool, hides, and other products to the herders and their families.
• It is also known as Nomadic pastoralism which is a form of pastoralism when livestock are herded in order to seek fresh pastures on which to graze.

Important PointsTranshumance:

• Another type of herding is called transhumance.
• Transhumance herders follow a seasonal migration pattern, usually moving to cool highlands in the summer and warmer lowlands in the winter.
• Unlike nomads, these herders move between the same two locations, where they have permanent settlements. Transhumance has had an enormous impact on the landscape. 
• Transhumant communities exist in some regions of the Northern and North East Himalayas.
• Those are Gujjars of Himachal Pradesh, Bakarwals of Jammu and Kashmir, Gaddis of Himachal Pradesh and Bhotias of Uttarakhand.
